Bangladesh: Hearing in Hasina's crimes against humanity case on July 1
The indictment hearing in the crimes against humanity case against Bangladesh's deposed Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been set for July 1, the country's Crimes Tribunal announced on Tuesday (June 24, 2025). The cases are against Ms. Hasina, former Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and former Inspector General of Police Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun for their role in the July-August mass uprising last year, state-run BSS reported. A three-member Bench of the Crimes Tribunal, led by Justice Md Golam Mortuza Mozumder, passed the order after the accused failed to appear before the court despite a notice seeking their surrender. Ms. Hasina, whose nearly 16-year Awami League regime was toppled last year in a student-led uprising on August 5, forcing her to leave the country for India, was accused of mass killings during the uprising and enforced disappearances earlier in the tribunal. State defence counsel would be appointed to represent Hasina and Kamal before the court, the tribunal stated. '...as per rule 31 of the International Crimes (Tribunal-1) Rules of Procedure 2010 (Amendment), 2025, they are hereby ordered to surrender at this tribunal on 24 June 2025. Otherwise, the trial will be held in their absence as per section 10A of the International Crimes (Tribunals) Act, 1973,' the report cited the notice seeking the surrender as stating. The prosecution in the formal charge brought five charges against Ms. Hasina, ,Mr. Kamal and Mr. Al-Mamun and the Crime Tribunal's investigation agency filed its probe report in the crimes against humanity and mass killing case on May 12, according to the report.

Indian Army is testing an AI machine gun that can detect, decide and destroy enemy on its own: Watch live demo
An Indian company has conducted the country's first trial of an AI-enabled lethal weapon system in collaboration with the Indian Army . The test featured an autonomous machine gun capable of detecting and engaging targets with precision at long distances. It marks a major step in India's efforts to modernise its defence platforms using artificial intelligence. First autonomous gun trial conducted by Indian firm Between 1–8 June 2025, Bengaluru-based defence firm BSS carried out trials of an AI-controlled Negev light machine gun fitted with a 7.62×51 mm barrel. The tests were conducted at high altitude, with the system successfully identifying and tracking targets at up to 300 metres and engaging with accuracy at 600 metres. The maximum effective range of the Negev LMG is 1,000 metres. 'This is the first AI‑driven weapon in India that can fire any gun up to .50 calibre,' said Vicki Chaudhary, co-founder of BSS, during a television interview. 'We are now among a group of select few countries which are performing successful trial of an autonomous lethal weapon.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo — BSS_Alliance (@BSS_Alliance) Capabilities include sensor fusion and remote operation The machine gun uses a combination of thermal and optical sensors to detect targets in low visibility and employs ballistic compensation for factors like wind, temperature, and range. The system can be operated remotely using an encrypted command link, reducing the need to place troops in exposed positions. Live Events Initial tests began on 5 April in Roorkee, and the high-altitude phase took place at 14,500 feet, according to Chaudhary. The company also said that the weapon system could function in an autonomous mode inside a bunker for up to 21 days. It can also be mounted on armoured vehicles and naval platforms using a stabilised system. Growing demand for AI-driven weapons The trials come at a time when the Indian Army is expanding its light machine gun inventory. In 2020, India ordered 16,479 Negev guns from Israel, and the Army has projected a need for 40,000 units. The demand was further reinforced by the use of Indian-made weapons during Operation Sindoor, which involved action along the Pakistan border. The Ministry of Defence is allocating ₹100 crore every year for AI research and development projects. This is part of the government's 'Make in India' defence production plan, which targets ₹1.75 lakh crore in production and ₹35,000 crore in exports. 'It will help our troops in adverse conditions,' Chaudhary said. 'And our idea is that there should be minimum intervention in manning a bunker.' Aligns with India's AI defence roadmap The trial is in line with India's strategy to build AI-powered defence systems such as drones, unmanned ground vehicles, and autonomous submarines. These technologies are being developed to reduce human risk and strengthen India's control over difficult terrain and high-risk areas.

A green movement in Kerala's capital for the future, by the future
Inheritance is a gift that today grants tomorrow. Elders move mountains to ensure the legacy they preserve for younger generations is complete, resourceful, and worthy enough to be called a future keepsake. Family heirlooms are thus protected. But increasingly, at least a few among the older generation — sensitive to the rapid environmental shifts around them — are asking: what kind of world will their children inherit? 'This question struck me hard recently as I watched an advertisement on ecology. It showed a future family of four, worn out and short of breath, ordering oxygen masks online, much like we order personal accessories now. This got me thinking... is this the world my kids or their kids are growing up to?' wonders Minnie Jose, a mother and interior designer, who has ensured her house in Thiruvananthapuram is a haven of all things green. The Breakthrough Science Society (BSS), a non-profit aiming to promote science awareness among the masses, is acting on such concerns. Its latest initiative, Green Voices, targets school and college students, encouraging them to reflect on the world they inhabit from an ecological perspective.
